Rector Vacancy Update
![Rector Vacancy Update](https://matvchurch.uk/img/bigstock----New-Choose-Your-Way--6829002.jpg)
As of Sunday 12th May, things are getting underway. When Archdeacon Catherine visited the benefice as part of her already planned "visitation" in April, she met for a short while with the churchwardens who had been already elected. All the churchwardens now elected and the Ministry Team* are going to meet with Catherine and our Rural Dean, Tim Weathersone, on Wednesday 5th June. In the meantime, Catherine will be meeting the Ministry Team on Monday 13th May.
For people who may be interested in becoming Rector of Mattishall and Tudd Valley Benefice, there is already some basic information available at www.dioceseofnorwich.org/about/about-vacancies/ Scroll down to "Upcoming Clergy Vacancies" and then to "Archeaconry of Lynn"
* What was formerly known as the Staff Team is now known as the Ministry Team, the term usually used throughout our diocese and in parish profiles used in vacancies like ours. As with many tltles it can be misunderstood, particularly as there are many in the benefice who exercise different ministries, but when you see "Ministry Team" please think "clergy and Licensed Lay Ministers (LLMs)".
We will be doing our very best to keep everyone up-to-date with things as they happen.
